That looks like a useful site. Bear in mind that your expectations and Australian experiences will NOT stand you in good stead, be prepared for many differences. We have it pretty good here. For example, in countries such as France and Germany, they have restrictions on who can buy a Sim card. I was fortunate enough to have a national be able to buy one for me. As you cross country borders, which you may do several times a day, you will be on roaming rates for your sim. I used Orange.fr Their data, and I suspect all other providers, is charged on a time basis, not only volume. And there is a flag fall. So each time the iPhone checks the time, or checks for emails etc etc, there is a charge. My first night cost me €35, and that was in France, with a French sim, and that was me not using the iPhone at all. The solution for most travellers it seems is to use the plentiful free wifi spots. Many accommodation places have free wifi, or you buy it in time blocks. Also Geneva has a town wide free wifi. You might be going there, but its an example of what is around. Often the free wifi is not very good, but it's better than nothing. Enjoy your travels, like I said above, we have it pretty good here - in many ways Tim Sent from my iPad On 25/02/2013, at 6:53, Robin Belford <[email protected]> wrote: > Hmm, big ask. > May I suggest you have a good look through this site and then you might be > able to plan your trip's communication needs. > > regards, > > robin > > http://prepaidwithdata.wikia.com/wiki/Prepaid_SIM_with_data > > > > On 25/02/2013, at 6:25 AM, Peter Faulks <[email protected]> wrote: > >> My wife and I are travelling to Europe next month taking my Mac Book >> Pro laptop and iPad 4 (3G) Wi-Fi Cellular which I wish to use with a >> SIM card to set up hot spot on the ipad tethering to the Mac Book Pro >> for email and internet whilst travelling. >> >> Can anyone recommend a good network provider or SIM card that will >> work in Europe (Italy, Spain England) or even throughout the world >> that I should consider?
